-- **Skills first:** reusable working knowledge, not permission to act.
-- **People stay accountable:** the six departments and eleven teams keep their decisions.
-- **Outcomes before activity:** quality, risk and total cost determine whether to continue.

 Eldorado's target is to make AI-assisted work dependable across the organization: useful guidance, clear human ownership, controlled execution and measurable outcomes. The first investment is a governed skills system, not an autonomous replacement for the organization. A skill packages reusable working knowledge, prerequisites and verification steps. It helps an agent perform a task; it does not grant permission or guarantee that the work is correct.
 
-The target combines one logical SDLC coordinating agent with developer choice on local laptops. Copilot, Claude Code and Cline remain client options within a qualified support matrix. They receive the same reviewed portable skill content through client-specific adapters. Repository, CI and release services remain the enforcement points, independently of what any agent says or which local tool produced a change.
+The target combines an autonomous agent executing and governing the SDLC with humans directing, guiding and reviewing it. Developer choice on local laptops remains a supporting option: Copilot, Claude Code and Cline can receive reviewed portable skill content through qualified adapters. Repository, CI and release controls support execution; detailed approval policies remain implementation decisions, not new roles established by this strategy.
 
 The strategy describes the intended operating model and the evidence required to introduce it. It does not establish that these controls are installed, that every client is supported, or that AI has improved Eldorado's performance. The current reference is the documented six-department organization. Rollout begins by validating actual clients, responsibilities, data boundaries and available evidence.
